No one wants hear this but it's true.
Chrono Trigger was their best game and everything after FF7 has been a steady slide downhill.
Kingdom Hearts was a decent spin on the Chrono Cross mechanics, especially the overworld. The Gummi ship sequences were my faves... I think it was the last gasp, though. X was decent, X-2 was meh, XII was better at near VII levels, but XIII absolutely sucked balls.
Gummi ships in the first game basically ended up as an engine with as many forward facing tier 1 blasters as you were able to strap to it then firing non stop. Kind of like the bastard love child of an A-Wing and a Y-Wing.
T2 and T3 blasters in ended up being less effective because T2 was something dumb like split fire that didn't even fire ahead of you, while T3 was harder hitting but also much slower blasting.
Meanwhile spamming T1 meant rapid fire and simply carpet bombing space so much nothing could even fire back at you.
Kingdom Hearts was a pile of shit and FFX was also awful, don't make apologies for it.
shrug I had fun with them. Never really saw the issues.
I'd argue that aside from the graphical upgrade, FF7 was already a slide from FF6.
Very little armor/weapon customization since it's all tied directly to specific characters, very linear, relatively small cast of characters.
